Woody Mann

Woody Mann began his guitar career as a youngster at the feet of the legendary Rev. Gary Davis. Mann complemented the tutelage of Rev. Davis with formal training at New York's celebrated Juilliard School. He also studied with noted Chicago-born pianist Lennie Tristano, who introduced him to jazz. Mann has pursued a rich and diverse career, which ranges from playing with jazz great Attila Zoller, accompanying songwriter Dory Previn, and teaching guitar to legendary recording artist Paul Simon. He has recorded extensively and performed everywhere from the orchestra pits of Broadway to festivals, clubs and concert stages worldwide. He has also taught numerous workshops and schooled countless guitarists through his acclaimed books and DVDs including the series The Art of Acoustic Blues Guitar, The Complete Robert Johnson, The Blues Fakebook, and the recently published Lisboa -- the Guitar Of Woody Mann, a collection of his original compositions.
